Very interesting ... but there's still "gluten" in rye bread ... I'm having a problem with gluten and grains ... switched to amaranth and quinoa.

I love rye bread except it gives me mouth ulcers. In fact, there's not much I can eat that doesn't make ulcers in my mouth. But as the old saying goes we must do what we can do. Thanks, Adrian! I sent your post to my b/f who has high LDL.
